Abstract

Application such as health monitoring, disaster relief mission, etc. require secure communication of messages. In this paper, we propose a novel approach of using an evolutionary algorithm with self adapting nature to avoid denial of service (DoS) attack. This approach is best suited for applications where energy and computation power is sparse. Detection of DoS claims and countermeasures taken while maximizing quality of service (QoS) is explained with results.
